Suprise!!!

Sunday night catch-up again. Lol!

A typically busy Saturday yesterday. G and I did some girly shopping in Southend and then later got provisions for the week ahead. (Provisions for the week are looking a bit sparse just now due to spending far too much on clothes n stuff before. Suffice to say we are going to be eating a lot of eggs this week!) It's whole lot easier when she comes to the supermarket with me because of the whole veggie thing she's got going on at the moment. Maybe I was wrong and it won't just be a fad? It has been a couple of months now?

Imagine my suprise (...and I made George jump with my little exclamation!) when I turned the page to see this...

A really, really nice suprise as I haven't seen the layout since it was sent, and managed to lose my copy of the original mag.

I was also really inspired by Melanie Grimes 'Having A Sister' digital layout on page 63. Check ou her blog for some stunning photography. I spent this afternoon lifting her idea for my own (paper) page.

Lots (for me) of stamping on this. I really didn't realise just how many stamps I have until I started piling them up on my table! A case of wow - where did all these come from?!

I am really liking this clean and unclutered feeling. Maybe because it is a straight lift and not my own design? As well as the occaisional scrap-lift I also somethimes work from sketches. This page was inspired by the 52 Sketches-52 Weeks site. Well worth a look, if you haven't come across it yet.

I don't know why the top half of this card looks a different colour to the bottom? I can assure you it is just one piece of card. Very mysterious?

I really like Georgina's shadow shot on this one, as well as how pretty our little house looks outside during the summer.

I have more to share, but need to begin the whole Sunday night dinner and back to school preparations and wind down routine now. Hopefully back later in the week. Thanks for stopping by. Sx
